Composer: Giuseppe Verdi Stage Director: Yuri Alexandrov Orchestra: Symphony Orchestra of the 'St. Petersburg Opera' theatre
Giuseppe Verdi RIGOLETTO
Opera in three acts
Libretto by Francesco Piave
(performed in Italian)
(12 characters, 38 musicians & 12 chorus singers)
Staged by Yuri Alexandrov
Premiere: 13 May 1997
Yuri Alexandrov’s version destroys the operatic cliches, sometimes denoted as tradition, which have come to be associated with productions of Rigoletto, and brings the opera closer to the composer’s original concept. The hunchbacked Rigoletto is morally flawed, his soul warped, and the hump and the mask are merely the character’s buffoon-like external image. The motif of the mask, the inherently evil masquerade that is life, runs through the whole opera.
